Original Abstract Submitted
In an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus of the present invention, a panoramic image generation unit generates a panoramic image from ultrasound image data or ultrasound images of a plurality of frames included in the same tomographic plane formed by moving an ultrasound probe. A hidden region detection unit detects whether or not a hidden region that is not displayed on a display screen is present in the panoramic image, a blood vessel detection unit detects a blood vessel in the panoramic image, and a notification unit notifies of a message in a case where it is detected that the hidden region is present and it is detected that the blood vessel is present in the hidden region. Accordingly, the user can easily understand a state of the blood vessel in the hidden region of the panoramic image in a case of performing the blood vessel puncture while observing the panoramic image.
